Where in Hawai’i? Take the photo quiz

Of all the unexpected sights in this pristine part of Hawai’i, this clearly modern intrusion is one of the more intriguing, especially when it appears suddenly out of the mist — much like the famous valley viewed from the end of the nearby road.

No, it’s not a monument to the golf ball, though this island is famed for its golf.

So where in Hawai’i is this — and what is the valley seen from the end of the road? If you think you know, e-mail <a href="mailto:hawaii.insider@gmail.com"hawaii.insider@gmail.com, along with your name and mailing address (to be considered for a small Hawai’i-themed prize) by noon Monday, July 12. Bonus points if you know the function of this unusual structure, and/or for sharing any personal anecdotes (or photos) of the area.

I’ll follow up with the answers and reader responses later in the week, after first catching up with last week’s quiz and the cavalcade of comments on the question of boycotting Hawai’i over its governor’s veto of a civil unions bill. Oh, and after watching today’s World Cup final — hup Holland hup! (As the person who took today’s quiz photo might say.)
